Question

The standard enthalpy of neutralization of $NH_4OH$ with $HCl$ is -51.46 kJ/mol, while that of $NaOH$ with $HCl$ is -55.90 kJ/mol. Determine the exact standard enthalpy of ionization of $NH_4OH$ in aqueous medium.

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. Neutralization of strong acids and bases inherently releases 55.90 kJ/mol. For a weak base like , a fraction of this energy is strictly consumed to ionize it prior to neutralization. kJ/mol.
